Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of rich butter
  • Finely chop a medium onion
  • Mince two cloves of garlic
  • Pour in ½ cup of freshly squeezed orange juice
  • Add 1 cup of cider vinegar
  • Squeeze in 2 tablespoons of zesty lemon juice
  • Drop in two slices of fresh lemon
  • Pour in 1 cup of genuine maple syrup
  • Add a quarter cup of flavorful Worcestershire sauce
  • Mix in 2 cups of rich ketchup
  • Stir in a quarter cup of thick molasses
  • Sprinkle in a quarter cup of aromatic brown sugar
  • Add 2 tablespoons of tangy dry mustard
  • Season with 1 teaspoon of salt
  • Sprinkle in half a teaspoon of spicy red pepper flakes
  • Add half a teaspoon of ground cumin
  • Mix in half a teaspoon of smoky paprika

Step 1

Begin by melting a generous amount of butter in a spacious saucepan set over a medium flame. Toss in the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, allowing them to sizzle and soften for approximately 5 minutes until they release their delightful aroma. Next, introduce a medley of flavors with the addition of tangy orange juice, zesty cider vinegar, a splash of lemon juice, some lemon slices for extra zest, a drizzle of rich maple syrup, a dash of Worcestershire sauce, a dollop of ketchup, a hint of molasses, and a sprinkle of brown sugar to balance the flavors.

Step 2

Elevate the taste profile by seasoning this mixture with a pinch of dry mustard, a sprinkle of salt, a dash of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick, a touch of cumin for warmth, and a dusting of paprika for a smoky undertone. Allow this symphony of ingredients to meld together as you simmer the sauce gently for 45 minutes to an hour, giving it time to develop depth and complexity.

Step 3

Before serving, remember to fish out and discard the lemon slices to prevent any overpowering citrus notes. This versatile and delicious sauce is now ready to be enjoyed with your favorite dishes, adding a burst of flavor to every bite.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Utilize Mason jars or vintage glass containers to store your delicious smoky BBQ sauce. The classic look adds a touch of nostalgia to your kitchen shelves.
  2. 2. Invest in air-tight containers to keep your sauce fresh and flavorful for longer periods. This will ensure you always have a taste of Grampa's kitchen ready to go.
